shinylib

Well I am relieved to find that it’s not the upgrade to 2.5.1 that totally borked the shinyblog, it was that post on Course Hero (see, I knew they were evil!). This is good.
Since I had to completely disassemble and reassemble the php so many times I am now thinking about overhauling everything in its [...]

For quite a while now I have been thinking about this massive archive of PDF formatted articles that has been accumulating on my hard drives for years. As it happens, I am a physical and digital packrat and the idea of having to search for these articles again one day irritates me. I spent some [...]

Several weeks ago I wrote about Flock, a “free, next generation web browser” which is built on the Mozilla Firefox platform. I said that I could see some merit to the functions of the browser but that ultimately I wouldn’t be making the switch.
I have to report that since that time I haven’t stopped using [...]

In lieu of a real post I will talk about how I am way too amused by the variety of stats provided by Clicky, my newest stat agent for bloggish spaces.
I have no idea who all of these people are! Why was someone Googling the shinylib? Where did they hear about me?
Clearly those posts I [...]

Although I have been really against trying Flock, for no reason at all, I finally gave in to some advertisement this morning and against my better judgment, I “clicked here” to download.
I am posting this with the WP function of the Flock browser. So far it is fairly easy. I click on the feather icon, [...]

I started to review a client called BlogDesk, but found the product so clunky and unimpressive that I gave up. Let’s move on to ecto.

I am on the hunt for a blogging client. I am not fond of doing anything via a webclient—unless I have to. To that end I have installed a few different software trials.
The most visually interesting application - BlogJet is what I am using first. It’s a Windows client that has a free 30 day [...]

In a fit of inspiration I started cleaning house in a major way today. Invariably I got tired of the dust and moved on to electronic housekeeping instead.
I’ve long been disatisfied with Vox and despite some of the good features and cute themes I have decided it’s time to take this show elsewhere. So you [...]

So I finally understand the beauty of IMAP. I don’t know where I was while everyone else was out installing Thunderbird and simplifying their email accounts, and thus their lives, with IMAP–but I finally get it now.
My workplace is kind of confusing with regard to email. We send and receive a lot of it and [...]

Mike Wesch, professor at K State and paragon of digital anthropology has done it again.
His video “The Machine is Us/ing Us” provided brilliant oversight on what this whole cult of 2.0 is really about; separating content from format and coming away empowered by the process. The 4-and-a-half minute film really makes you think about how [...]
